About the Item

A beautifully aged 19th-century French water jug, handcrafted in the South of France and bearing the rich patina of time and use. Made from terracotta and finished with a rustic ash-brown glaze, this double-handled earthenware vessel once served a practical purpose—storing and pouring water or wine in rural households. Its distinctive form features a rounded body, a wide mouth, and an expressive central spout with thick strap handles extending gracefully from the lip to the shoulder. The glaze has worn and crackled naturally over time, leaving areas of exposed clay and subtle tonal variation that highlight its utilitarian beauty. An evocative piece of French provincial history, this jug makes a sculptural accent in any rustic, Mediterranean, or wabi-sabi inspired space.
